"If I Lose" lyrics - THE BAND

I never thought I'd need you
But now I find I'm wrong.
Come on back, sweet mama,
Back where you belong.
I've gambled over this town
And find that I can't win,
Come on back and pick me up again.

[Chorus:]
Now if I lose,
Let me lose.
I don't care
How much I lose.
If I lose a hundred dollars,
While I'm tryin' to win a dime,
My baby, she got money all the time.

Of all the other girls I know,
None can take your place,
Cause when I get into a jam,
They just ain't in the race.
So come on back home, babe,
Let's take another round,
With you here by my side, baby,
The deal just can't go down.

[Chorus 2x]
